Hehe, I tried that in trials this past weekend. I was playing with my two clan mates who go 9-0 often. I was the groups leader, and the first match we went against, we got rolled.

Trust me. Trials is card and elo based so yes, in a way, SBMM is taking action.

I've seen that term used before, but I don't know what It means. What is elo?

Edited by PlayaSkillz: 8/31/2016 9:41:26 PM"What is "Elo" and what does it mean? From Wikipedia: [quote]The Elo rating system is a method for calculating the relative skill levels of players in competitor-versus-competitor games.[/quote] All players start at a baseline of 1200 points. You will take points from your opponent's Elo score by defeating them, and vise versa. Defeating a more skilled opponent will yield higher points than if you beat up on a weaker one. The higher the score, the more skilled the player. It is extremely difficult to maintain a high Elo score, these players are regarded as the best of the best! As your score rises and falls, you'll be categorized into leagues. Bronze: 0-1099 Silver: 1100-1299 Gold: 1300-1499 Platinum: 1500-1699 Diamond: 1700+ Each mode you play has its own Elo rating and league categorization. Beyond that, Elo is account-wide, so in Control you'll have the same rating whether you're on your Titan, Warlock or Hunter." Sources: destinytrialsreport.com and http://guardian.gg/en/faq My elo is currently 1864 for season 2. In season 1 it was 2141. Basically they average you and your team mate's elo out and match you up against a team accordingly or it [i]may[/i] be individually. My team and I averaged between 1400-1500 elo combined and went up against a team that had 2200, 2100, 2200 elos (averaging 2150 elo) so definitely lopsided... surely if we won against them, they would lose a lot of elo points and we would gain 30+ elo from them or more. I think because my elo was the highest out of the group it put us against those 2100+ elo players whether it was based on individual or team average elo. I highly believe elo plays a part, and SBMM goes off of elo, to balance the teams out in regular pvp and to match you up accordingly... if your team is on the last match to go flawless and COINCIDENTALLY there is NO OTHER TEAM out there besides the SUPER HIGH ELO team that are on their last match as well, they'll put you in together. I still think it's bs. Another time a person who I don't play with regularly in Trials but whom I've known for a long time and isn't that good at pvp but can hold their own sent me this message: [quote]Yo, you wanna play trials? The guys you get paired up with are way harder than the guys I play. I was wanting to play trials for awhile for fun. I just got online like 10 minutes ago.[/quote] Definitely SBMM based on my experience (an above average player) and my friend's experience (decent to low skilled player).

Trials doesn't have SBMM lol
-
Then we must have just been incredibly unlucky. Because the team we played against steam rolled us. And my two clan mates are quite good at trials. I'm honestly just convinced that I am uncarriable. I have been playing crucible non-stop the past few weeks, trying my hardest to improve so I am not just dead weight. And even after improving a bit, I was still just absolute trash in trials.
-
It's fine dude. Like you said, you just got really unlucky. It matched you up with a team that had the same score on their card as you. You could've just as easily gotten .3 KD noobs
-
One day....just one day I hope that happens. I've tried a few times to advance in trials, and have only Once made it far. Would had been a natural 9-0 had I the passage coins for the card I was using. We went 8-1.
-
Try again when RoI comes out. Trials will be flooded with noobs
-
I'm hoping that is true. Because I really want to get to the lighthouse. It is the one thing in this game that has been out of my reach.
-
Same. The rewards probably won't be that great anyway, I just want the bragging rights
-
Exactly. It is about pride for me. I need to be able to say I have conquered all parts of the game.
-
Well, good luck man. Hope you get matched with the noobiest of scrubs
-
Thanks much homie! I already hit up my clan on Kik telling them that I am beginning my training tonight.
-
Yup, Inferno 3v3 is the perfect place to train. Just so you know, Trials isn't coming back until Rise of Iron comes out.
-
I'm aware. That why I was so bummed out that I wasn't able to get to the light house this passed weekend. I really wanted to get there before the Xpac. It's all good though. This gives me time to hone my skills.
-
I was bummed too. We came so close last week. 7-1 :/
